Photo Compositing – Misc

Here’s an assortment of photo composites that I’ve made for various shows. Some for Set Dec and some for inserts. They reflect a range of techniques and processes. There’s multiple old photos we had to match to different backgrounds, new photography to blend into old photos, and taking original photos and manipulating them in various ways to achieve story points.

There’s finesse, artistic knowledge and creativity in putting these together. They definitely need planning to make work right, but can be done successfully.


Food and Product Labels

I’ve done loads of food and product labels throughout my work. Here’s a random assortment to show the variety and uniqueness. Some we’ve made complete boxes for, some were just printed and stuck on existing product.


Amusement Park Ride Signage

Here’s an assortment of banners and fictional ride artwork for an amusement park set that was shot as an actual abandoned amusement park in myrtle beach.   Very tight time constraints on these ones.


Hannigan’s Theming

A bunch of graphics I did for Hannagan’s, a fictional Americana Memorabilia-decorated restaurant, E.G. TGI Fridays or Ruby Tuesdays circa 1990. There’s fictional stained glass printed on plexi, menus, table tents, door etch-mark and booth separators.

 


Youth Activity Center Mural

A mural I did for the Youth Activity Center on Army Wives Season 6. I did it in a bit of a Art Nuveaux style to make things colorful and interesting. The rough sketch was done by hand, the layout was done in Photoshop, and the artwork was done in Illustrator.


Narubu – Fictional Country

For Army Wives season 6 we went to Africa to do peacekeeping. Due to the sensitive nature of the story, the writers opted to make a fictional country instead of a real one, thus was born “Narubu.” This included the creation of maps, TV news, web pages and more to make the place seem real. I’ve included an assortment of the items we’ve created to help flesh out this non-existant place. I hand-drew every road, river and railway in the country. I used a mix of topography from various African countries to develop the idea that the country was split with a mountain range, divided into east and west segments. All of the city, river and lake names imply a historical french colonization as well as a resurgent indigenous culture.

 

Here’s some computers screens we did for the Narubu briefing room. Many were animated. Some were static.


Sabertooth Biker Gang Patch

Here’s a cool patch I drew for the “Saber-tooth gang” that the hero of “Naked” runs into over and over again. Here’s a small step-by-step process gallery. Starting from the loose mockup that was given to me to start with, to the rough sketch, to the final output artwork.

 


Monroe Republic Map

Here is a map that I created to show that the Monroe Republic means business! Done for season 1 of Revolution

There’s also map I did to show the different territories in the post-power world of revolution.

 


Speedboat Product Packaging

Here’s a fun RC speedboat toy package I did for episode 509 of Army Wives.

I made stickers for the boat.  Placed the stickers and took photos of it, composited the photos into a water scene, made a logo for the toy company, then I put it all together and printed it and adhered it to cardboard.

The water field was an inserted backdrop that I stuck to the inside of the box itself. I cut out and inserted plastic windows and made 3 complete copies in case one got damaged! And it yielded this fun result!
